Garden City, New York, United States

  Original owner selling very low mileage 2000 FORD WINDSTAR SE wheelchair accessible van. 
  • 33k original, documented miles
  • Vantage Mobility (VMI) Northstar factory wheelchair conversion, which includes a lowered floor, in-floor power ramp, and power kneeling feature.

  • Runs and drives well (see note on transmission below), and is very clean; upholstery is in excellent condition.

  • Very well maintained; with oil changes every 3000 miles, brand new tires, new front struts/rear shocks, new battery, new front brakes, etc. Fresh oil/filter change. A/C blows cold.

  • Never been in an accident (but see pictures for minor curb damage to fiberglass panel at bottom of L/R door). Never smoked in.

  • Clean Carfax

  • Comes with wheelchair tie downs which have never been used since the van also comes with installed and fully operational EZ Lock wheelchair receiver mounted in front passenger position (costs $1350 + installation if purchased new). Note, to use the EZ Lock, you will need a wheelchair mounting bracket and bolt assembly which can be purchased from EZ Lock.

  • Also comes with the original passenger's front seat (mounted on platform) and second row captains seats (all of which have never been used). Driver's seat is also factory mounted on removable platform to enable use by wheelchair-bound driver (van has no hand controls).  Also comes with original mat set, still in original packaging. 

  • Ramp is approx. 29” wide, height at entrance is approx. 54”, and height in front seating position is approx. 56”.

  • Transmission drives and shifts smoothly, except that very occasionally when first started it may initially not engage. When this occurs, it resolves in about 30 seconds after which it operates without incident. This has been occurring occasionally for over 10 years – and occurred most recently months ago – and neither Ford dealer nor transmission shop has been able to replicate or diagnose. Beyond the mild inconvenience when it occasionally occurs at start-up, it has never caused us a problem.

I have tried to describe the issues and flaws fully and accurately but, to state the obvious, it is not a new vehicle. It has the typical imperfections for its age, mileage and use. Mechanical inspection is encouraged prior to bidding, since vehicle is sold “as is” with no warranty. We are selling the van because our needs have changed. I am happy to answer any other questions before you bid. Call Dick at (516) 937-8145.

Deposit of $500 via PayPal from winning bidder must be received within 24 hours after auction ends, with balance due by bank check or wire transfer within 7 days. If either is not timely received, I reserve the right to relist or sell to another party. Vehicle is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction to make a local sale.

Chip Foose tastefully enhances his personal Ford GT

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Typically, we'd expect a vehicle from 2006 to fall well short of a more modern vehicle, both in terms of performance and style. Of course, the Ford GT is not your average offering from the Bush era. That's doubly true when the 2006 GT in question belongs to one Chip Foose.
Purchased by his wife as a 50th birthday present, Foose is showing his custom, personalized GT at the 2014 SEMA Show. The 5.4-liter supercharged V8 breathes a bit easier thanks to a full Magnaflow Performance exhaust, but Foose's GT isn't all about the performance.
Instead, the car customizer extraordinaire has focused on tasteful aesthetic enhancement, tweaking the rear end by removing the bumper and trimming the frame extensions. The wheels, meanwhile, are one-off aluminum alloys, designed by Foose himself. Like the stripes, the wheels feature orange accenting.

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
